Sumario:A group of jews from different origins are shut-in a barrack of Auschwitz. They are aware that they will be executed in a gas chamber at dawn. Confronting their somber destiny, they wonder why Jehova doesn´t help them. Someone accuse God for having broken the alliance with the jew people. The debate acquires the form of a judjement to God, so as to determine if he is guilty or innocent of betrayal to the Chosen People. God on trial staged the problem of the position of man confronted to horror, cruelty and injustice. But above all to the figure of God, and the varied possible respons –denial, cinical, despare, étical- in the face of it´s absence.
